The patches provide an update of amba_device and matching code to handle
the additional registers required for the Class 0x9 (CoreSight) UCI.

The *data pointer in the amba_id is used by the driver to provide extended
ID register values for matching.

CoreSight components where PID/CID pair is currently sufficient for
unique identification need not provide this additional information.

<title>ARM: 8838/1: drivers: amba: Updates to component identification for driver matching.</title>

<id>e85fa28ebcb598bbb439402609fdde5d0f80622d</id>
<content type='text'>
The CoreSight specification (ARM IHI 0029E), updates the ID register
requirements for components on an AMBA bus, to cover both traditional
ARM Primecell type devices, and newer CoreSight and other components.

The Peripheral ID (PID) / Component ID (CID) pair is extended in certain
cases to uniquely identify components. CoreSight components related to
a single function can share Peripheral ID values, and must be further
identified using a Unique Component Identifier (UCI). e.g. the ETM, CTI,
PMU and Debug hardware of the A35 all share the same PID.

Bits 15:12 of the CID are defined to be the device class.
Class 0xF remains for PrimeCell and legacy components.
Class 0x9 defines the component as CoreSight (CORESIGHT_CID above)
Class 0x0, 0x1, 0xB, 0xE define components that do not have driver support
at present.
Class 0x2-0x8,0xA and 0xD-0xD are presently reserved.

The specification futher defines which classes of device use the standard
CID/PID pair, and when additional ID registers are required.

This patch introduces the amba_cs_uci_id structure which will be used in
all coresight drivers for indentification via the private data pointer in
the amba_id structure.

Existing drivers that currently use the amba_id-&gt;data pointer for private
data are updated to use the amba_cs_uci_id-&gt;data pointer. Macros and
inline functions are added to simplify this code.

<title>tty: amba-pl011: probe ZTE device from AMBA bus with a pseudo-ID</title>

There is no Peripheral Identification Registers on ZTE PL011 device, so
although the driver amba-pl011 is ready to work for ZTE device, the
device cannot be probed by the driver at all.

With arm,primecell-periphid DT bindings (bindings/arm/primecell.txt) in
place, it should be the cleanest the way to use a pseudo-ID to probe the
device from AMBA bus.  We create an unofficial vendor number
AMBA_VENDOR_LINUX, which will practically never become an official
vendor ID, and takes Configuration, Revision number, and Part number as
input to compose a pseudo-ID for ZTE device.

Also, since we start using vendor_zte to probe ZTE device, the
__maybe_unused for vendor_zte is removed.

<title>drivers/hwtracing: make coresight-* explicitly non-modular</title>

<content type='text'>
None of the Kconfig currently controlling compilation of any of
the files here are tristate, meaning that none of it currently
is being built as a module by anyone.

We need not be concerned about .remove functions and blocking the
unbind sysfs operations, since that was already done in a recent
commit.

Lets remove any remaining modular references, so that when reading the
drivers there is no doubt they are builtin-only.

All drivers get mostly the same changes, so they are handled in batch.
Changes are (1) convert to builtin_amba_driver, (2) delete module.h
include where unused, and (3) relocate the description into the
comments so we don't need MODULE_DESCRIPTION and associated tags.

The etm3x and etm4x use module_param_named, and have been adjusted
to just include moduleparam.h for that purpose.

In commit f309d4443130bf814e991f836e919dca22df37ae ("platform_device:
better support builtin boilerplate avoidance") we introduced the
builtin_driver macro.

Here we use that support and extend it to amba driver registration,
so where a driver is clearly non-modular and builtin-only, we can
update with the simple mapping of

     module_amba_driver(...)  ---&gt; builtin_amba_driver(...)

Since module_amba_driver() uses the same init level priority as
builtin_amba_driver() the init ordering remains unchanged with
this commit.

As already demonstrated with PCI [1] and the platform bus [2], a
driver_override property in sysfs can be used to bypass the id
matching of a device to a AMBA driver. This can be used by VFIO to
bind to any AMBA device requested by the user.

CoreSight components are compliant with the ARM CoreSight
architecture specification and can be connected in various
topologies to suit a particular SoC tracing needs. These trace
components can generally be classified as sources, links and
sinks. Trace data produced by one or more sources flows through
the intermediate links connecting the source to the currently
selected sink.

The CoreSight framework provides an interface for the CoreSight trace
drivers to register themselves with. It's intended to build up a
topological view of the CoreSight components and configure the
correct serie of components on user input via sysfs.

For eg., when enabling a source, the framework builds up a path
consisting of all the components connecting the source to the
currently selected sink(s) and enables all of them.

The framework also supports switching between available sinks
and provides status information to user space applications
through the debugfs interface.
